Practice and exploration of bilingual teaching in mechanics of materials

With the development of international education, bilingual teaching is paid more and more attention by many universities. We introduced the situation of the bilingual teaching in mechanics of materials in Beijing Jiaotong University and discussed some questions, such as teaching objective, teaching system, teaching process, teaching methods and effect evaluation in bilingual teaching. Through the bilingual teaching, students can deeply understand professional knowledge and contents of mechanics of materials in the similar specialty of foreign universities. They can think in English and also properly use and read the original English books and technical references.
